THE JUNCTION RAILROAD.

When 1t was known that Capt, Clements
was coming to Wheeling, the hope arose
that his Wait had some bearing on the
proposed new Baltimore & Ohio Tins from
tho river front south OF the creek to con.
nee. with tho Hemp6old track near the
tunnel in the east end Of the city. Hear
Ing this suggestion a reporter called at the
Baltimore 4 Ohio office, and learned that
matters in reference to this road were
in statu quo. Notice was received from the
Secretary Of States office at Charleston,
yesterday that the charter taken out for
this route, known 80 the Junction road,
had been forfeited by neglect to pay the
$40 annual license tax assessed by the late
Legislature on sill corporations in the State,
The matter was overlooked. The char.
ter will be revived, but no promises are
made Of the resumption OF work on the
road OF an early day. Too much money
has been spent for labor and right OF way,
however, to suppose the project will DO
abandoned. Some very costly property
was purchased along the route.

THE Canadian fisheries question
is now being discussed by Com
mission of Englishmen and Ameri-
cans with view of an amicable
settlement in Justice to both parties.
The question had its origin at the
close of the revolutionary war, when
the freed colonists were granted GER
tain rights to fish in Canadian
waters. The English claimed that
the war of 1912 annulled this right,
while the Americans claimed that
as this question was not involved
in the war nor in any way led to
war, it was still in full force. In
this they were right, for applying
the same argument to the other
terms of the treaty, the clause
making the colonies themselves
free and independent would also be
null, which is absurd. To avoid
war concessions were granted, and |
from time to time since then the |
question has been juggled with I'M
Ill war with Canada seemed i'm
minent. The question ought to be
settled strictly upon the terms of
the treaty granted the patriots of
the revolution; any other settlement
would be disgrace to their cause.
While not of much Importance to
those living in the west, the ques-
ion is one of vital Importance in !
many places east.

THE ALIEN LAND LAW.
PHILADELPHIA Times.

The Governors of Idaho and
Montana do not like the so-called
alien land law and ask that it be
amended or modified to give Idaho
and Montana a chance, The griev-
ance of which the Governors COM
plain is that the law keeps out for
eign investors in mining property.
If that is the only objection to
the alien land law Congress should
not be in haste to repeal or amend
IT. The fifty or sixty million
Americans already in this country
have surplus capital enough to de-
velop all the mining property in
either Territory mentioned that is
worth developing and it cannot be
said that the average American
capitalist is not willing to venture
his money where there is even a
reasonable show of getting it back
with margin of profit. The Yam
kee capitalist, as a rule, is not
averse to taking some chances in
his pursuit of more wealth.
If the complaint of the Govern
ors of Idaho and Montana means
that foreign capitalists are more
easily duped into buying shares in
wildcat mines than Americans who
ire on the ground and can investi-
gate for themselves, that fact, if it
S fact, furnishes only an addition
Il reason for the maintenance of
he law. Americans can develop
heir own mines and honest Amer
cans do not want a loop hole left
pen through which they can fleece
oreign capitalists.
In view of the many wildcat min
az schemes that are continually
eing put upon the m arket, one
'ould think that even foreign in
estors would be in favor of tie !
len land law, in so far as it fo,.
ids their occupation of mining

SENATOR INGALLS,, Of Kansas
says that "the political quack doc
tors, the anti-poverty, anti-monop-
oily, greenback, free trade socialists
are now clamoring for government
al ownership of railroads and tele-
graphs" We wonder if the dis
tinguished Senator's views were
brought about by the action of two
of his partisan colleagues, Senators
Edmunds- and Cullum, who have
lately publicly advocated govern
ment ownership of telegraphs.
The Senator is right when he OPP
poses governmental ownership, but
why would not a little judicious
governmental control be a good
thing? OF course such regulations
would not tend to line the pockets
Of the owners at an alarming rate,
yet the public would be benefited.

ELSEWHERE in this issue will be
found an article from the Philadel-
phia Times criticizing the reports
of the Governors of Idaho and Mon
tana in relation to the alien land
law The Times structures, in our
opinion, are well placed, If the
mines of Idaho are really as good
rs they are reported to be, their de-
yelopment by home capital should
be insisted upon. Keep the profits
and surplus at home is the only
way to secure lasting benefit, and
any scheme to send them abroad
should be discouraged The law
saves our really valuable mining
property for development by Amer
lean capital, and thus keeps the
surplus at home. When hon.
est and sincere expenditure of
money with an object of developing
our resources, is made by our Idaho
and Shylocking at three
per cent a month stopped, then
will our mines be developed.

but it is certainly a very readable
and in the main instructive, vol
ume.
The population of the Territory
is placed at ~, $50, which is calcu-
lated thus: The census of 1880
gave the population at 32,610, and
the vote for Delegate in Congress
for the same year was 1928. 1t
will be remembered that nearly
three-fourths of the population were
at that time adult males. The vote
at the last election was 1888, to
which should be added at least
1900 Mormons, disfranchised,
which gives us 1883, which null
tiplied by five gives a population of
1880. There are large number
of aliens who have no vote, estimat-
ed at 10000.
Alturas county leads with 1920
population; Bingham next with TO-
500, Ada 10000, and Kootenai |
least with $500.
The valuation of taxable proper
ty, from assessors returns is $40,
741,192, Alturas county furnishing
So, 005,31S, and Ada $2,977, 1884,
aggregating over one-fifth of the
total. The Governor complains of
the reckless manner in which some
Of the assessors do their work.
The counties are then taken up
n their order and their products,

If it is true that Blaine is TO return to the
United States via Japan and land in San
Francisco few days before the meeting of
the Republican National Convention next
June; that his real boom is then to commence
and he is to be again nominated for Presi-
dent, and that he is to make noisy and
pompous parade and electioneering tour
from the Pacific slope to his home in Maine
we may look for more politics to the square
inch in this country next year than has ever
yet been witnessed. That program, if car
ried out, is the best possible fight the Repub-
lican party can make next year; and as it is a
battle simply to preserve the future existence
of the party, the character and nature of the
desperate effort that is to be made is readily
seen. Just such noisy clap-trap must be
resorted to in order to enihuse things, aud
give the decaying party life enough to make
the requisit, struggle in the next national
campaign against the invincible Democracy
which has come to stay. But the more
desperate the effort the Republican party
makes, the shorter will be its existence after
it's defeat and overthrow in 1883.

An American Girl Declines to Dance
Mirh His Royal HIGhness.

Coretpondence Cnicaeo keut.
The only eHub the Prince Of Wales
ever received at Hamburg was admin
istered by an American girl, and In
such n manner as To take the breath
away from her mother. IL was the
season The Prince fell on the salon
door with Miss Winslow while waltz
ing. He had overeharged himself with
wine at dinner. Presently he caught
sight Of this Southern girl, distin-
uished looking, handsome and passion
ately fond Of dancing, who had some
days previous been introduced to him.
He dispatched an equerry TO summon
her for waltz. On the instant, and
while her mother was dumbtounded
for suitable reply, she said:
Convey my regrets 10 His Royal
Highness and inform him that / shall
dance no more this season."
"But you forget, Miss Winslow," !"
continued the emissary, THAT this Is
a Royal command"
''And you forget, sir, that / am an
American, and am not accustomed to
obeying Royal commands.n
At this the equerry vanished, and
the young Iadys mother recovered her
breath. The plucky Southerner kept
her word by abstaining from dancing
the remainder of the season.
